    I would suggest either getting a safety pin and putting it into the round part of the string, or just keep toggling the wire up and down etc.
    this happened to me some time ago

    I eventually got it out. But I had to almost hit it in. The tuner on the G string was really slow moving up and. Really stiff. So I might have to get something to lubricate it. But its alright now! Thanks for the help :P

    Hi there,

    I need help regarding a strings and changing them..

    So my G string broke. As you can see. Only today have I tried taking it off and the mechanics has then stopped me from changing when the tuning knobs are at the back. As shown in the picture, the bolt is sticking out where I don't want it to be. I'm tempted to open up the black box to see what it is doing. But then worrying about breaking some of the mechanics in there. The bolt coming out of the black bit cannot be moved but the tuner can.

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated...

    Thanks,

    James.

    Ampeg SVT 3 Pro. Graphic EQ, Flight Case!

    in Amps and Cabs For Sale

    Ignore the Price; £430 at the moment.

    Hello everyone,

    I am selling my Ampeg SVT 3 Pro. As I have upgraded to a Mesa Boogie 400. However I do not doubt this amp whatsoever. The tone selection, graphic EQ allow you to get whatever sound you want. I have owned this for a good two years. The graphic EQ is obviously the main attraction (9 band EQ I believe). However there are frequency selectors to the mid range, ultra hi and bright pads just to increase the scoop and the higher end aggressive tone which Ampeg are renowned for.

    It is an older model. I believe its an early 90s model. It has a few signs of wear and tear. Once I upload the pictures, some of the graphic EQ levers are broken. However you can still change them up and down.

    I may also like to add that the this amp has just last weekend just been re-valved. Circa £40. So that is why I have bumped up the value to £500. The head also comes with a flight case. Weighing just under 20kgs. The power to the amp is connected not via a kettle lead. The evaluation by the guy who re-valved the amp said that it was straight out of the factory. And I guess that is quite rare.


    Trades I would be looking for something a little lighter than a Mesa Boogie 400. I will listen to offers, interested in Genz Benz Shuffle 12.0!

    The Ampeg Svt 3 is based in Reading, Berkshire at the moment. But I could get it up to Sheffield for convenience of trading.

    Please note that shipping is paid for by the BUYER.

    Regards,

    James.






    What exactly is a final price drop?

    I think that BC is fast becoming the place to buy but not necessarily the place to sell....

    Definitely. I buy and sell quite a few items. I've had far more success off eBay and Gumtree than I have on BC for selling. Maybe the players on BC know what something is worth and won't budge on their estimations. (Very much like Wenger's transfer policies..).

    Bassists are generally such a friendly species!

    Anyone else notice how ahead bass players are socially, communication. I've always noticed the dry pan humour which most bass players share. There isn't much egotists amongst us. And that is definitely something to be proud of when you are playing music.

    I always talk to my band about gear and picking up bargains off forums and having no problems with dealing between players. Whereas there is no guitar forums, everything is always traded over shops or eBay (which can be dodgy). Most stuff that comes out, isn't obvious. You could find out more from basschat in an evening than rather waiting for the new guitar magazine to come out to see what is popular. Kudos!
